The Emperor is Above

Chapter 228: Teach the Prince a Lesson

He took the solitary hill and its land as his own.

This thought suddenly became strong in Xing Boyun's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, because he realized that this idea had a great possibility of being realized.

According to the feudal law of the State of Xing, the area within a radius of 500 li around the capital could not be enfeoffed to the nobles, officials, and royal family members.

Ever since the great victory over the Xianyu tribe a hundred years ago, there have been very few fiefdoms within a thousand miles of the capital, and new fiefdoms had to go to remote areas to open up and guard the borders.

According to the conversation between Taishu Bingxin and Bai Ze, based on the military achievements of Shangshi Guqiu Yi, he would definitely be promoted to the rank of Lower Official, which means that he would have to leave his fiefdom in Guqiu and move to a remote place to start construction again.

In this way, the extremely rich and spiritual Guqiu fiefdom will return to the hands of Xing Hou. As the eldest son, he can easily get it as long as he puts some thought into it and train batch after batch of powerful private armies.

Thinking of this, Xing Boyun was shaking with excitement, but he heard Qing Yi's surprised voice: "Is the prince suffering from epilepsy? Why is his body shaking so violently for no reason?

Solitary Hill is rich in spiritual energy and is suitable for recuperation. Could it be that it cannot be nourished by the light spiritual energy? If so, we should send the prince away quickly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, wouldn’t it be my great sin? "

Xing Boyun almost vomited blood after hearing these words. The seemingly caring and considerate tone was actually a trick to drive him away from the solitary hill.

He immediately snorted coldly: "Sergeant Guqiu Yi is worrying too much. I just accidentally injured my right leg. I just accidentally touched it and the pain was unbearable.

I would like to congratulate you on your promotion to the rank of senior official. You should pack up your luggage and return the Solitary Hill to your father as soon as possible. When you leave the Solitary Hill, please do not damage any grass or tree."

Xing Boyun's words seemed like congratulations, but in fact he was telling Qing Yi to pack up and get out of the solitary hill. His meaning was not so friendly.

Qing Yi understood immediately that the eldest son of Marquis Xing had become greedy when he saw the abundant spiritual energy in the Solitary Hill Mound. However, he was not worried as Mu Ling had instructed.

His face was filled with a faint mocking smile: "Thank you for your congratulations, Your Highness, but whether I can be promoted to a lower-ranking official and when I will receive my fiefdom still needs your decision, and no one else can do it for me.

I admire the fact that the prince, despite being seriously injured and unable to walk, did not leave the battlefield and still volunteered to fight against the barbarians in Jiming Lake. I admire you, I admire you!"

Qing Yi thought that Xing Boyun's broken right leg was caused by an injury in the previous battle. He believed that Xing Boyun was greedy for military merit in wiping out the wild people in Jiming Lake, and that he wanted to gain military merit to gild his reputation even though his right leg was injured.

"puff--"

Xing Boyun was so angry at Qing Yi's unintentional words that he almost vomited blood.

He had originally concluded that the Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures disturbed the army at the behest of Qing Yi. When he saw the four Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures bowing their heads and obeying Qing Yi, he became even more certain of this.

Now Qing Yi actually mocked him in person, which made Xing Boyun furious. He could no longer bear the anger in his heart and said gloomily: "State affairs are difficult and the king and father have worked hard. As the king and father's eldest son, of course I have to endure the hardships that ordinary people cannot endure and share the worries and work for the king and father.

How can you compare to the military commander who led hundreds of soldiers to defend Guqiu? In one battle, he defeated 50,000 enemies and beheaded tens of thousands of them. Even the Grand Master Shimen Sou was shocked and spoke well of you in front of his father and king. "

Qing Yi smiled slightly, bowed towards the capital and said, "It's just a mere military achievement, but it made Old Man Shi and the Lord so worried. I'm really ashamed, ashamed!"

"Haha, Senior Sergeant Guqiu Yi actually feels ashamed in his heart?" Xing Boyun smiled coldly, and his tone suddenly became stern and unkind.

"Have you ever heard that twenty years ago, Senior Doctor Wei Xian concealed his military achievements and deliberately exaggerated his military achievements in an attempt to gain the position of Junior Minister, which ultimately led to his own death and the extinction of his clan?
According to what you told Shimen Sou in the past, the battle at Guqiu not only killed tens of thousands of wild folks, but also many strong men from the Black Wind Tribe and the Ghost Witch Tribe, and even killed a Dharma body of the Ghost King and a divine servant of the Cat Ghost God.

I specifically asked Zhong Xingshuo, the chief worshiper of the worship hall, that both of them are at least second-grade judges. Even with the help of dozens of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures and a dozen Wangmang clan giants, you can never kill them. Now that the battle of Guqiu has ended for nearly a month, you have not reported your military merits, which shows that you are quite guilty and dare not report it openly.

If you admit now that you falsely reported your military achievements, your merits and sins can be offset, and you will not be held accountable for falsely reporting your military achievements. If you stubbornly refuse to admit it, don't blame me for personally counting them."

"Prince, we are just passing by Guqiu Fengtu, and there is no mission to check military merit. Why do you have to make trouble?" Taishu Bingxin couldn't help but look dark at this moment. He didn't expect that Xing Boyun insisted on making things difficult for Qing Yi despite his instructions. Now it was too late for them to object.

Liang Qiu Juzhong and Bai Ze looked solemn. They didn't expect that Xing Boyun would ignore the obstruction and tear his face off so quickly, insisting on using Qing Yi to establish his authority.

They were all worried. After all, it was normal for young people to be vain and brag. Qing Yi was only a 15-year-old boy and might deliberately exaggerate his military achievements when communicating with others.

Even if the king knew about this, he would just smile and let it go. However, the eldest son of Xinghou took advantage of the chicken feathers and tried to embarrass Qingyi.

Xing Boyun was also angry that the three of them refused to support him. When they persuaded him like this, he sneered and said, "Xing State was restored by Ying Hou with all his heart and soul. Now you are unable to solve the internal and external troubles, which makes the king and father exhausted.

As the eldest son of my father, I must do my best to help him. I must carefully interrogate every person who falsely reports military achievements, and make sure that the villains are exposed, so that the real meritorious people can live up to their reputation. "

Qing Yi carefully observed the expressions of Xing Boyun, Taishu Bingxin, Liangqiu Juzhong and others, and realized that this matter was indeed the behavior of Xing Boyun alone.

Hearing this, he could not help but chuckle and said, "I have defeated so many enemies and beheaded so many barbarians. I am not seeking any false reputation, so why should I brag about it like some people do, and even attribute the merits of many soldiers to myself?

There were many things to deal with after the war. The king was busy dealing with the twelve cities in the northern border, the Xianyu army in the border city, the fifteen cities in the southeast, and even the conflict between Yanjin City and Chongguo. He had no time to pay attention to the war in Guqiufengtu.

Besides, a few days ago, Mr. Shi said that he wanted me to go to the capital to meet the king at the end of November. I will certainly present all my spoils to the king at that time. Why should I bother to seek some false reputation? "

"Hehe, you're not going to offer your victory until the end of November. I'm afraid you're waiting for us to sweep the barbarians in the Great Swamp. You're taking the opportunity to kill the women, children, the elderly and the weak and pretend to be a military achievement, right?"

Xing Boyun sneered, "Since you claimed that you had captured tens of thousands of heads of barbarians a month ago, let me bring people to personally check and see if it is true."

"Since the prince insists on personally checking it, then let it be as you wish!"

Qing Yi pointed speechlessly at a haystack in the southwest of the hill.
"Look, there are a lot of wooden boxes in that haystack, and tens of thousands of wild people's heads are in them. You can check them out slowly by yourself. I won't go over to join in the fun."

"You're not going over? Hehe, I'm afraid you're feeling guilty, right?"

Xing Boyun immediately revealed a smug smile. He must be a guilty person who dared not face the reality himself. He wanted to personally expose the true face of this liar in front of the Black Armor Cavalry, the Middle Division and 50,000 troops.

"Come on, everyone, follow me and I will personally check the heads of the barbarians."

Xing Boyun rode on a sedan chair and led a group of soldiers to the haystacks. They couldn't wait to lift up all the thatch on the haystacks, revealing huge wooden boxes that were nearly ten feet long and wide.

Qing Yi couldn't help but shook his head at Bai Ze, Tai Shu Bing Xin, and Liang Qiu Ju Zhong and said, "I really don't understand what the prince is thinking. Even if the heads of tens of thousands of barbarians are treated with lime and medicine, they will still stink.

I won't be able to eat for two days if I stay here for a while, and the prince will suffer for it. I hope the two commanders and Bai Ze Duwei don't mind me teaching him a lesson."

Before he finished speaking, several soldiers roughly opened two wooden boxes, and hundreds of hideous and smelly savage heads poured out.

The strange stench made Xing Boyun's breathing stagnate. He could no longer hold it in and suddenly lay on the couch and vomited: "Ugh——"
